Kanye Was Half-Right

Sure, Kanye West was a boorish idiot for accosting Taylor Swift in the middle of an acceptance speech at the MTV Music Video Awards two weeks ago. But as poor as his medium was for trying to make the point, his message was dead on: the video for Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is one of the best ever. The colors, the staging, the outfits, the impossibly high heels, the impossibly long legs, the impossibly coordinated dance moves.

The whole video combines the simple and the outlandish in a captivating way. Unfortunately, you have to click here to view it. Her record company has banned embedding it.
